Yields

5 servings

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup diced mushrooms
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper until they’re well-beaten.

Set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Add the diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.

Sprinkle the cooked vegetables and shredded cheddar cheese over half of the omelette.

Use a spatula to gently lift and fold the other half of the omelette to cover the filling.

Cook for an additional 30 seconds to a minute, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.

Slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a large plate or cutting board.

Cut the omelette into 5 equal portions and serve hot.

Notes

Use any color bell peppers you like, or a combination for a rainbow effect! If using mushrooms, be sure to clean them gently with a damp cloth or paper towels to remove any dirt or debris.

For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or serrano peppers to the skillet with the vegetables.

If you’re not a fan of cheddar, feel free to substitute with another shredded cheese like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even feta.

Since this recipe yields 5 portions, consider halving the ingredients for a smaller crowd or multiplying them for a larger group.
